Pac-12/Big 10/Big 12 Realignment

OSU, WSU, Cal & Stanford are officially lost at sea.

This may sound strange, but I feel really awful about that. I want Oregon to succeed obviously, but I feel really bad about leaving the smaller schools behind.

I’m struggling with it too, if it were Washington I’d be laughing, but just it the same feelings about OSU and Wazzu

This is exactly why Washington is our rival and OSU is our little brother.

Technically the older brother but he still lives in the house and bless him he tires.

Doesn't look like everyone within the athletic department are happy. Wouldn't be surprised to see some athletes transfer.

Don’t they already play games all over the country? And it’s already been established all our sports will still play against OSU. Let’s not forget Arizona is closer to Auburn then it was to Eugene We already traveled a ton in the pac 12.

Dang it, the softball player doesn't like it. Knew there was someone we forgot to ask.

This is why the transfer portal exists. And makes sense why she’s never made it to Oklahoma with that mindset….

I heard that interview with JC, it certainly sounds like the Ducks are expecting much more than $30 mil closer to $50 mil immediately

Heard from another radio guy that they'll be borrowing against their future payouts (and estimated bowl revenues) to backfill added travel costs until they get full shares. It will be several years before we're enjoying the true financial benefits of B1G membership, but thankfully we're Oregon and that doesn't really matter.

By the way, this upcoming season is going to be intense. It was already going to be good with so many teams seaming to peak at the same time, and now everyone is going to be playing with chips on their shoulders. Every game is going to be a war.

Pac-12 still coping with the whirlwind of change.

Not sure why anyone in here would be attacking a student athlete. There's almost nothing beneficial for them in this deal. Yeah, there's still USC/UCLA/UW that are no different than current. But where's the next closest school, Lincoln, NE? That's 1600 miles vs SLC that was 700 or Berkeley that is 500, or even WSU at 460. The amount of travel and time away from school, home, and as she says, opportunities for friends and family to watch games is much lessened.

Looks like the CFP is thinking of changing how the expanded playoff is done.

Maybe because she is being a downer about something publicly that most others are really happy about, including the people who raise the revenue necessary to pay for her to be on scholarship? She is whining about something that isn't going to happen for over a year, so her parents are going to have plenty of opportunity to see her play. Probably plenty of seating too. She also has plenty of opportunity to transfer out if she doesn't like traveling. I don't think too many sports participants complain about playing in other parts of the country, some might even think it was a cool opportunity. She can always try UNLV or Fresno State if she wants to be close to home though.
